a long time back of the cases he has been
for years now indeed he has been away
00:08:27
sending is the tangos part it is in
00:08:31
a wall by Joel Fink deaths that are
contributing to the will take place this. Is
00:08:36
some of the what everything is need to
really accounted for she adds that to the

a more and more serious say
that since access to water is
00:09:56
a human rights the government should make
resolving the water crisis preserving

what players and maintaining
the water infrastructure are

a priority for viewing this is because

Abortion is legal in South Africa up to 20
weeks after pregnancy and it is provided
00:11:39
for free at government run clinics
getting a safe abortion now ever is
00:11:45
a challenge many women face harsh stigma
for seeking terminations and in some cases
00:11:52
that existence from health
workers who oppose abortion as
00:11:57
a result more more than half of all
South African abortions and up to being
00:12:02
performed by unlicensed backstreet providers
in the mining town of Rustenburg and
00:12:09
surrounding areas the problem has gotten
so dire that the aid group Doctors Without
00:12:14
Borders has set up a special clinic
to address the issue feel is
00:12:19
a need to Powell reports from the area
precious as she has asked us to call her is
00:12:25
16 weeks pregnant and so is her best
friend by Precious's boyfriend that event
00:12:31
turned her life upside down and brought
her to the difficult decision to seek an
00:12:36
abortion. But when she tried to get an
abortion in her home city of Johannesburg
00:12:40
she ran into problems. I
went to abortion and.
00:12:50
It. And the. Things trained for.
00:12:59
You have to go. In. And then.
00:13:07
It's like I'm. Against God. Back there
00:13:14
Hers is
00:13:14
a common experience and it's what reproductive
health advocates say drives $10000.00
00:13:19
South African women to seek illegal and
sometimes deadly backstreet abortions every
00:13:24
year rather than risk death precious chose
to travel to Rustenburg where aid agency
00:13:29
Doctors Without Borders has set up
00:13:31
a free abortion clinic because of this
very problem. Kelly who heads the Doctors
00:13:37
Without Borders project in Rustenburg says
demand for the clinic services is high
00:13:42
he estimates he performs as many as 101st
trimester abortions each month and says
00:13:47
he sees women from as far away as Botswana
where abortion is illegal he actually
00:13:52
began his career delivering babies but
switched course and says he's proud of his
00:13:57
decision I look back why did I get myself
into this profession is that I want to be
00:14:00
an alchemical medical want to
help people and then you see
00:14:03
a gap in like this is part of health
care services and if no one is doing it
00:14:08
somebody has to do it and I enjoy I enjoy
and you're working with people Russian
00:14:12
partners Krista Tom Ella has
been performing abortions for
00:14:15
a decade and says she's proud of her
work she says she thinks some of her
00:14:19
colleagues are contributing to the stigma
of abortion and worse if you can't have
00:14:24
the patient is
00:14:25
a man is just if it is plain to 2 that I
live in this so that the person must get
00:14:29
to have done just tell him no I can't do
that can't help you and give me presents
00:14:35
on board but this way they end up going to
the bogus because when you leave this on
00:14:40
the margins as well as of this the resins
that it's that she says that keeps her
00:14:45
going through the judgement through the
tears through the difficult stories she
00:14:49
hears day in and day out. Because she says
whether people agree with her work we're
00:14:54
not she saving women's lives and following

trunk it is the management of informal and
much national company that does business
00:17:35
research he says African governments need
more reforms to make her area business
00:17:41
one is the structure it's way too small
an average so it's very difficult to
00:17:47
increase the productivity of the land and
if you had bigger plots you could you
00:17:52
know use
00:17:53
a machine more except. It would improve
the 2nd thing is like the land
00:17:59
ownership is
00:18:00
a big problem because most of the property
is traditional It's not going registries
00:18:05
. Xperia difficult to
plan to use that land as
00:18:09
a grantee to buy Quitman to buy fertilizers
etc and then to increase and to
00:18:14
increase the year olds and it's very
difficult to also restructure the lands into
00:18:19
those bigger plugs I was mentioning earlier
because you don't have a preferred
00:18:23
a ship besides the fact that you use it
so as. Chief of Staff of groups from

Britain or France or Ses
without help we met
00:18:31
a family. Wagnerian. Lesson
learned Ses women in rural
00:18:38
areas do not get help when we was in poverty
the problem of others in other social
00:18:44
programs Ses women and young people who
can't find jobs in rural areas will be
00:18:50
forced to migrate in big cities and that
brings high unemployment rate in the crime
00:18:55
. African leaders gather and the c.e.o.
00:18:58
Summit de half page
00:19:00
a to work toward eradicating poverty among
families really had to troll is Togo's
00:19:05
minister of infrastructure and transportation
she says her country has chosen to
00:19:10
1st be the roads to help the goalie's
farmers reach markets that they cannot be
00:19:15
sure what he say's you know that's not free
care people take their halfassed to the
00:19:19
markets unlike in Europe where it might be
shipped on the planes and boats She says
00:19:24
that is why is imperative to invest in
infrastructure because government have to
00:19:29
give them their way of transporting their
halfassed he said in his speech opening
00:19:34
Guantanamo prison the programming say
those any policies only work if they are
00:19:38
responsible petitions whatever we
try to do even in terms of economic
00:19:45
development. The result comes
to the politics surrounding
00:19:52
it if it's
00:19:55
a budget other thing else is
by. Leaning pretty. Not is
00:20:02
why. Often. Responsive. And accountable
00:20:08
governance is critical they want to be
made so that in less than engineer ssion

workforce one point I want to be in what age
00:20:19
Africans Here's an economic expert and
Africa's you forum say there's no time to
00:20:25
waste to make sure this population becomes
Africa's greatest asset rather than
00:20:30
a bargain for the continent in the world

00:21:26
Last week was the highest weekly
number this year c said it and other
00:21:33
agencies have to work even harder to overcome
mistrust and misunderstanding in many
00:21:39
communities the outbreak is the
1st one in eastern d.r. C.
00:21:43
And many communities are distrustful of
the health workers coming to care for
00:21:49
patients What's more there are several
militant groups fighting each other and
00:21:55
government forces in the area are making
it difficult for aid workers to move
00:22:00
around.
00:22:08
Diaspora gathered down the steps of the
Lincoln Monument in Washington d.c.
00:22:13
Over the weekend to add their voice to
ongoing protests in their home country some
00:22:19
protesters carried Sudan's red
white and black striped flag with
00:22:24
a green triangle others carried the country's
former official flag used well before
00:22:30
Sudanese President Omar
00:22:32
a lot of Bashir came to power and then be
your describes why Sudan's former flag
00:22:39
is popping up again at protests.
From 1956 to 970 Sudan's blue
00:22:46
yellow and green striped flag flew
throughout the country to symbolize
00:22:50
a new and independent
Sudan that flag is making
00:22:54
a resurgence in the latest round of
protests around the country and outside its
00:22:59
borders 28 year old British Sudanese to
ask from member and protester mentor
00:23:04
explains why bless them both them and
dependence on Sudan from colonial grown. By
00:23:10
Egyptian colonial rule and it will once
again service the symbol for independence
00:23:15
from this current regime for most of us
that's what it symbolizes for most of us
00:23:19
that grew up in the dictatorship but were
born and raised with the sharing power we
00:23:24
didn't know Saddam before the
Sudan but that's it and for
00:23:27
a lot of our parents symbolizes about us
that out of synonymous all the potential.
00:23:32
That was really the middle ground of Africa
United are the Arab world I mean Africa
00:23:39
mount Unfortunately when this regime came
about we shot it but now we're seeing
00:23:44
mark up and again and for a lot of us on
00:23:46
a lot of the years back to Saddam we
want to see the demonstrations in Sudan
00:23:50
continue more than 3 months after protesters
took to the streets over high bread
00:23:55
and fuel costs last week hundreds of
protesters in Khartoum challenge to Cher's 3
00:24:00
decade rule during protests led by students
Reuters news agency reports police used

them 1500 Sudanese pounds for taking part
00:24:18

have been defiant since Bashir declared
00:24:23
a national emergency in late February
Sudanese American Mohamed McDuck says he has
00:24:29
been inspired by his people in Sudan I
realize that this will look here only for
00:24:34
Washington d.c.
00:24:34
Here we are living actually from the
people inside the country instead of the
00:24:39
country the people that are protesting the.
All young between 20 and 35 and this is
00:24:46
significantly there than you know the
youngest people the bone in their area so
00:24:52
that's telling us
00:24:53
a lot many of those young people have only
known Sudan to be ruled by one president
00:24:58
and some including Sudanese diaspora member
Wafa may Elimimian blame Bashir for the
00:25:03
country's weak economy may says as she looks
to the future she can't help but think
00:25:09
of the past era during Sudan's independence
when there was vigor and enthusiasm for
00:25:14
a new country emotions that are represented
by the old flag in Sudan we see so much
00:25:19
tribalism and so many things divide us like
politics religion. But the flag kind of
00:25:27
embodies the culture of so that means
people which I think is being hospitable
00:25:32
being loving being welcoming and really
standing to those values as Sudanese people
00:25:37
and seeing our flag as just
00:25:38
a message that says despite everything
else we are all one and the Sudan flag
00:25:44
represents that and Sudan is just Sudanese
people currently during this revolution
00:25:50
were all the same Sudanese American
Abdel more Nam says the old flag also
00:25:55
symbolizes
00:25:56
a long struggle for an independent country
which he says paid off we are graded on
00:26:01
the History of Time he done was the Sudan
at the time we are in the best of all
00:26:06
good condition good economic of all
country good. Reason was good but no
00:26:13
Everything has been destroyed we are going
to remember that history for several
00:26:17
months protesters inside and outside of
Sudan have been calling on Bashir to step

00:40:33
a good group with South Africa in Nigeria
in Libya tough group but you give us the
00:40:37
transmission ourselves to try different
different tactics mama sometimes doing very
00:40:42
bad. Example against

and get
00:41:13
a good drop for the Afghan tournaments we
wanted to be in the game and to finish on
00:41:18
the top of the table which is very
important. To be the head of the group
00:41:25
in the Afghan. Mistakes still in the
construction of the game we have to improve

Finds this is pathetic I might have done
some going from Kenya you were listening
00:45:52
to this on the side of sports one to force
of America. Kenya has produced more
00:45:59
than
00:45:59
a few marathon champions over the years

00:46:06
of them
00:46:07
a life shot Borno has been crowned the

00:46:34
seconds not Hollywood no way to put on
his running shoes and caught up with
00:46:41
a light show Bar know a. After
his victory and not be asked
00:46:45
a light show was this win more difficult
than your 2017 Los Angeles Marathon trying
00:46:52
to mislead I was being the needy and wanted
to prevent that from the seriousness
00:46:58
you really kicked in the last spotted with
you what made you to stand back and know
00:47:03
that I was trying to my
training when I trained
00:47:06
a lot about the amount I lost they were
going to die if I would just do me out she
00:47:10
. Came in under 2000 Yes but you
know the line was to come in on that
00:47:18
tennis as I was planning like do they want
to live and that's what I will say you
00:47:24
know that there when I want to live and
we're going to go to live and to then it
00:47:28
gets to the 100 and that is now because
what did you learn from the 29th team was
00:47:34
Angeles part of Korea or do nothing
that was known only to find
00:47:39
a bit because we're out of play coming on
Mexico New Mexico and hoping that So the
00:47:46
political will is
00:47:47
a bit in the eyes are the ones who think
we've got an opinion you can go over there
00:47:52
to defend later today I mean going to
00:47:54
a county official and going to get out and
going to your phone others are coming
00:47:58
forward saying it isn't in my book you know
to Bridget you to speak in the last of
00:48:03
a moderating and knowing fully well that
John Kerry it was with him this way or the
00:48:08
losing nearly I didn't really tell us no
matter how to still run and then I decided
00:48:14
I was to really take your letter so with
Bush you want to thank you that may make
00:48:18
it
00:48:18
a very good event we do it all this mission
just 27000 it took over like 24000 and
00:48:24
today you're going home are doing fine to
the point to point out that if you must
00:48:27
be able to reach might have 10 hours
00:48:28
a day like that I'm going to manage the
money better and deliver the we're going to
00:48:33
do Miles more. Of
00:48:36
a bottom do in your house what else really
use the money I'm willing to lose it
00:48:41
maybe Time Warner. Must be
00:48:48
happy that you're coming back with
this big money. But you know.

Business leaders at the African.
Governments to take measures to boost

1500 delegates from across Africa
and beyond. For the summit

made in many African
00:17:12

trunk it is the management of informal and
much national company that does business
00:17:35
research he says African governments need
more reforms to make her area business
00:17:41
one is the structure it's way too small
an average so it's very difficult to
00:17:47
increase the productivity of the land and
if you had bigger plots you could you
00:17:52
know use
00:17:53
a machine more except. It would improve
the 2nd thing is like the land
00:17:59
ownership is
00:18:00
a big problem because most of the property
is traditional It's not going registries
00:18:05
. Xperia difficult to
plan to use that land as
00:18:09
a grantee to buy Quitman to buy fertilizers
etc and then to increase and to
00:18:14
increase the year olds and it's very
difficult to also restructure the lands into
00:18:19
those bigger plugs I was mentioning earlier
because you don't have a preferred

Britain or France or Ses
without help we met
00:18:31
a family. Wagnerian. Lesson
learned Ses women in rural

areas do not get help when we was in poverty
the problem of others in other social
00:18:44
programs Ses women and young people who
can't find jobs in rural areas will be
00:18:50
forced to migrate in big cities and that
brings high unemployment rate in the crime

00:21:26
Last week was the highest weekly

agencies have to work even harder to overcome
mistrust and misunderstanding in many
00:21:39
communities the outbreak is the
1st one in eastern d.r. C.
00:21:43
And many communities are distrustful of
the health workers coming to care for
00:21:49
patients What's more there are several
militant groups fighting each other and
00:21:55
government forces in the area are making
it difficult for aid workers to move

Diaspora gathered down the steps of the
Lincoln Monument in Washington d.c.
00:22:13
Over the weekend to add their voice to
ongoing protests in their home country some
00:22:19
protesters carried Sudan's red
white and black striped flag with
00:22:24
a green triangle others carried the country's
former official flag used well before
00:22:30
Sudanese President Omar
00:22:32
a lot of Bashir came to power and then be
your describes why Sudan's former flag
00:22:39
is popping up again at protests.
From 1956 to 970 Sudan's blue
00:22:46
yellow and green striped flag flew
throughout the country to symbolize
00:22:50
a new and independent
Sudan that flag is making
00:22:54
a resurgence in the latest round of
protests around the country and outside its
00:22:59
borders 28 year old British Sudanese to
ask from member and protester mentor
00:23:04
explains why bless them both them and
dependence on Sudan from colonial grown. By
00:23:10
Egyptian colonial rule and it will once
again service the symbol for independence
00:23:15
from this current regime for most of us
that's what it symbolizes for most of us
00:23:19
that grew up in the dictatorship but were
born and raised with the sharing power we
00:23:24
didn't know Saddam before the
Sudan but that's it and for
00:23:27
a lot of our parents symbolizes about us
that out of synonymous all the potential.
00:23:32
That was really the middle ground of Africa
United are the Arab world I mean Africa
00:23:39
mount Unfortunately when this regime came
about we shot it but now we're seeing
00:23:44
mark up and again and for a lot of us on
00:23:46
a lot of the years back to Saddam we
want to see the demonstrations in Sudan
00:23:50
continue more than 3 months after protesters
took to the streets over high bread
00:23:55
and fuel costs last week hundreds of
protesters in Khartoum challenge to Cher's 3
00:24:00
decade rule during protests led by students
Reuters news agency reports police used
00:24:07
tear gas to disperse the demonstrators
multiple reports say Sudan sentenced 6
00:24:12
protesters to jail today and find each of
them 1500 Sudanese pounds for taking part
00:24:18
in yesterday's demonstrations protestors
have been defiant since Bashir declared
00:24:23
a national emergency in late February
Sudanese American Mohamed McDuck says he has
00:24:29
been inspired by his people in Sudan I
realize that this will look here only for
00:24:34
Washington d.c.
00:24:34
Here we are living actually from the
people inside the country instead of the
00:24:39
country the people that are protesting the.
All young between 20 and 35 and this is
00:24:46
significantly there than you know the
youngest people the bone in their area so
00:24:52
that's telling us
00:24:53
a lot many of those young people have only
known Sudan to be ruled by one president
00:24:58
and some including Sudanese diaspora member
Wafa may Elimimian blame Bashir for the
00:25:03
country's weak economy may says as she looks
to the future she can't help but think
00:25:09
of the past era during Sudan's independence
when there was vigor and enthusiasm for
00:25:14
a new country emotions that are represented
by the old flag in Sudan we see so much
00:25:19
tribalism and so many things divide us like
politics religion. But the flag kind of
00:25:27
embodies the culture of so that means
people which I think is being hospitable
00:25:32
being loving being welcoming and really
standing to those values as Sudanese people
00:25:37
and seeing our flag as just
00:25:38
a message that says despite everything
else we are all one and the Sudan flag
00:25:44
represents that and Sudan is just Sudanese
people currently during this revolution
00:25:50
were all the same Sudanese American
Abdel more Nam says the old flag also
00:25:55
symbolizes
00:25:56
a long struggle for an independent country
which he says paid off we are graded on
00:26:01
the History of Time he done was the Sudan
at the time we are in the best of all
00:26:06
good condition good economic of all
country good. Reason was good but no
00:26:13
Everything has been destroyed we are going
to remember that history for several

told the group with the team points the
match played by deceiving because she
00:39:39
studio and saw the Eagles the minutes in
the game but cannot be treated by Rees the
00:39:44
France China base for it would be only
Gallo scored like us face cool when he
00:39:50
commanded
00:39:50
a penalty kick in the at the 1st minute by
recent one lies in the 42nd minute when

praise on resumption and scored the 2nd
00:40:09
little window keep Henry in your group

00:40:15
substitute player same with his squad they
did go for Nigeria United time securing
00:40:21
schools got the Zhang Ses doing his
team did not want to fight they had
00:40:26
a wonderful experience in the group for
we want to measure all the selves against
00:40:32
the very best enough we got it was
00:40:33
a good group with South Africa in Nigeria
in Libya tough group but you give us the
00:40:37
transmission ourselves to try different
different tactics mama sometimes doing very
00:40:42
bad. Example against
00:40:43
a guy who tried something you do not work

00:40:48
in Nigeria. I hope you have showcased
just enough for people to know the Fisher

and get
00:41:13
a good drop for the Afghan tournaments we
wanted to be in the game and to finish on
00:41:18
the top of the table which is very
important. To be the head of the group
00:41:25
in the Afghan. Mistakes still in the
construction of the game we have to improve

his victory and not be asked
00:46:45
a light show was this win more difficult
than your 2017 Los Angeles Marathon trying
00:46:52
to mislead I was being the needy and wanted
to prevent that from the seriousness
00:46:58
you really kicked in the last spotted with
you what made you to stand back and know
00:47:03
that I was trying to my
training when I trained
00:47:06
a lot about the amount I lost they were
going to die if I would just do me out she
00:47:10
. Came in under 2000 Yes but you
know the line was to come in on that
00:47:18
tennis as I was planning like do they want
